Prompt engineering training for professionals and teams in Sri Lanka. Frameworks, few-shot examples, system prompts, structured output and evaluation — practised on your own work until the results are reliable.
Cocoon's prompt engineering training in Sri Lanka teaches the one skill every AI tool depends on: writing instructions a model can execute reliably. It covers prompt anatomy, the RTF, CO-STAR and chain-of-thought frameworks and when each fails, few-shot prompting with your own examples, system prompts and custom instructions, structured output for tables and JSON, and how to evaluate an answer and catch a hallucination. Delivered in person in Colombo or online across Sri Lanka as a half-day, a full day, or inside a four-week cohort.
What’s covered
Eight modules, every one of them exercise-led on work from your own organisation. Half-day formats cover the first four; full days and cohorts cover all eight.
Role, task, context, format, constraints, examples. Why most weak prompts are missing two of the six.
Three frameworks, one exercise each, and the honest answer about when a framework helps and when it just adds words.
Show the model three of your best examples and watch the output match your standard. The fastest route to on-brand work.
Set the rules once. Tone, audience, what to refuse, what to always include. Then stop repeating yourself.
Tables, JSON, checklists, scored rubrics. Getting output your next tool can consume instead of prose you have to re-key.
Critique, refine, regenerate. Asking the model to check its own work, and knowing when to start again.
How to tell a confident wrong answer from a right one. Verification habits that fit in thirty seconds.
Tested, named, organised by task. Built during the session, kept in the tool your team already uses.

Who it’s for
The work is right one day and unusable the next. That is a prompt problem, and it is fixable.
One good prompt, used by twelve people, beats twelve people improvising.
Brand voice, structure and format — the things few-shot prompting fixes almost immediately.
Structured extraction, comparison and classification at a volume that manual work cannot reach.
Cocoon is based in Colombo and has delivered AI training across 35+ industries in Sri Lanka — BPO and shared-services floors, banks and finance companies, apparel and manufacturing, tourism, tea and agriculture, education. The pattern is the same everywhere: the teams that learned to use AI on their own work in the first year are now the ones setting the pace. Sri Lanka's cost position makes AI adoption a lever rather than a threat for export-facing businesses, and the national push on digital skills — ICTA programmes, university initiatives, the growth of Colombo's startup scene — means the demand for practical, non-academic training has outrun supply.
Where we run it
The exercises change with the industry. These are the sectors where Cocoon runs prompt engineering training most often in Sri Lanka.
Colombo's largest employers and the fastest adopters; daily-workflow AI for delivery and support teams.
Analysis, reporting and customer communication with the data controls the sector requires.
Planning, quality documentation, supplier communication and the operations workflows behind them.
Guest communication, content, forecasting and the multilingual work the sector runs on.
Market research, buyer communication and reporting for businesses selling to the world.
Institutions and agencies building AI literacy at scale, often with Cocoon's free labs.
Cocoon quotes in LKR or USD, per workshop rather than per head for corporate formats, and publishes what each format includes. There is no government subsidy scheme for private AI training in Sri Lanka at present; many organisations fund it from L&D budgets or as part of a digital-transformation programme. Cocoon's AI for Students programme is free, as a CSR commitment, and the labs and tools on this site are free for anyone.
